What has been your most memorable travel experience to date?

My most memorable travel experience was my first trip to Africa, where I woke up to a herd of elephants and hippos right in front of my terrace—one of those moments that truly takes your breath away. Seeing mountain gorillas in their natural habitat was just as powerful, a reminder of how small we are, yet how deeply connected we can feel to something so raw and real. Africa is simply one of those places where you never stop feeling a sense of wonder.

Which destinations or hotels do you go back to again and again? Why?

I would definitely return to Aspen in the summer; it’s the sense of peace you feel being surrounded by nature and endless outdoor activities that make it so special.
